Description of the problem	Rear sway bar snapped off at point inside rubber bushing on driver's side. I researched online and found numerous complaints of this issue on various message boards, youtube, and the nhtsa safety complaint web site. The sway "bar" is actually a hollow tube, like a pipe, which is obviously not strong enough to support the load of the vehicle during normal driving conditions. Broken piece was hanging down very close to the ground (less than 1/2 inch) and was rattling/banging/rubbing against other suspension components and cables. Others may have noticed sparks coming from under the vehicle when hitting bumps/dips while driving, which could potentially cause a fire on the side of the road. (it is not uncommon for dragging metal to start fires like this.) i had also noticed that while making turns, it feels like the suspension is "loose" and the vehicle is harder to control. I hope that someone is able to investigate this issue and get a recall issued before anyone is injured or causes a fire.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
